1. Press recirculation ( ) switch one time. Recirculation indica-
tor should illuminate.
2. Press recirculation ( ) switch one more time. Fresh ( )
indicator should illuminate.
3. Listen for intake door position change (blower sound should

If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for AT C - 7 6 , "
Intake Door
Motor Circuit" .
If OK, continue with next check.
NOTE:
Confirm that the compressor clutch is engaged (sound or visual
inspection) and intake door position is at fresh when the DEF or D/F is selected.
CHECKING TEMPERATURE DECREASE
1. Rotate temperature dial counterclockwise (driver or passenger)
until 18°C (60°F) is displayed.
2. Check for cold air at appropriate discharge air outlets.
If NG, listen for sound of air mix door motor operation. If OK, go to
trouble diagnosis procedure for AT C - 11 0 , "

air mix door motor appears to be malfunctioning, go to ATC-69,
"DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR AIR MIX DOOR MOTOR
(DRIVER)" or AT C - 7 1 , "DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR AIR MIX
DOOR MOTOR (PASSENGER)" .
If OK, continue with next check.
CHECK A/C SWITCH
1. Press A/C switch.
2. A/C switch indicator will turn ON.
Confirm that the compressor clutch engages (sound or visual
inspection).
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for ATC-104, "
Magnet
Clutch Circuit" .
If OK, continue with next check.
CHECKING AUTO MODE
1. Press AUTO switch.
2. Display should indicate AUTO.
If ambient temperature is warm, and selected temperature is
cool, confirm that the compressor clutch engages (sound or
visual inspection). (Discharge air and blower speed will
depend on ambient, in-vehicle, and set temperatures.)
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for ATC-60, "
Power Supply
and Ground Circuit for Front Air Control" , then if necessary, trouble
diagnosis procedure for ATC-104, "
Magnet Clutch Circuit" .
If all operational checks are OK (symptom cannot be duplicated), go
to malfunction Simulation Tests in AT C - 3 5 , "
How to Perform Trouble
Diagnosis for Quick and Accurate Repair" and perform tests as out-
lined to simulate driving conditions environment. If symptom appears. Refer to ATC-35, "
How to Perform Trou-
ble Diagnosis for Quick and Accurate Repair" , AT C - 3 5 , "SYMPTOM TABLE" and perform applicable trouble
diagnosis procedures.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The front air control controls compressor operation based on ambient and intake temperature and a signal
from ECM.
Low Temperature Protection Control
The front air control will turn the compressor ON or OFF as determined by a signal detected by the intake sen-
sor and the ambient sensor.
When intake air temperature is higher than the preset value, the compressor turns ON. The compressor turns
OFF when intake air temperature is lower than the preset value. That preset value is dependent on the ambi-
ent temperature, refer to the following table.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR MAGNET CLUTCH
SYMPTOM: Magnet clutch does not engage when A/C switch is ON.
1. CHECK INTAKE AND AMBIENT SENSOR CIRCUITS
Check intake and ambient sensors. Refer to ATC-53, "
A/C System Self-diagnosis Function" .
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >>
Malfunctioning intake sensor. Refer to ATC-133, "Intake Sensor Circuit" .

remove the three magnet coil fixing screws and remove the
magnet coil.
INSPECTION
Clutch Disc
If the contact surface shows signs of damage due to excessive heat,
replace clutch disc and pulley.
Pulley
Check the appearance of the pulley assembly. If contact surface of pulley shows signs of excessive grooving,
replace clutch disc and pulley. The contact surfaces of the pulley assembly should be cleaned with a suitable
solvent before reinstallation.
